Description
Eight authors, led by Kosei Esaki, report a 2026 case of depression treated with magnetic brain stimulation after cancer care. Treating depression in cancer patients takes case-by-case care. Drug choices are hemmed in by body symptoms, drug interactions, side effects, and the burden of the treatment itself.
The patient was a woman in her sixties. Her depression followed emergency surgery for a perforated colon cancer, and later chemotherapy damaged the nerves in her limbs, a lasting side effect. Drugs helped too little and were hard to bear. A modified form of electroconvulsive therapy helped, but only for a while, and repeating it proved hard. She then received repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, which pulses a magnetic field through the skull. The report traces her course and weighs the option for like cases.
